10 Years of Changing Places Facilities

The Changing Place Consortium was launched in July 2006 on behalf of the 250,000 people in the UK who cannot use standard accessible toilets.

This includes people with profound and multiple learning difficulties, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy as well as older people.

10 years later and there are now more than 850 Changing Place Facilities throughout the country, with many more planned. It’s a campaign that Sandcastle Waterpark has been proud to support and, in February of this year, we were delighted to be the recipients of the Changing Places Award for Most Popular Changing Place Facility in the UK, as voted for by users of these facilities.

Sandcastle Waterpark Managing Director John Child said “ We are delighted to be supporting Changing Places as they celebrate their 10th Anniversary. Their successful campaigning has resulted in so many new facilities being introduced at a wide variety of landmark businesses, attractions and venues.

"As a business, our accessibility development programme continues to evolve, recent and new initiatives include dedicated evenings for guests with Autism and Disabilities, pre visits for carers and organisers to allow them to see our facilities prior to their visit and assisted admission into the Waterpark upon arrival.

"As we introduce new facilities and initiatives, we look forward to a future that provides accessibility for even more of our friends from the disabled community.”

30th Summer at Sandcastle Waterpark

On June 1 2016 the celebrations began and Thursday 30th June was the final day in a month long programme of events held at Sandcastle Waterpark to mark the 30th Birthday of the popular Blackpool Attraction.

June has seen the Lancashire Waterpark celebrate with 30 events over 30 days, many of which have involved local charities and community groups being invited down for tours and to experience the exciting range of attractions. A number of other local groups and organisations have also taken the opportunity to hold awareness days at the attraction including Diabetes UK and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service.

The Waterpark also held a number of competitions throughout the month on its social media channels for guests to win tickets to the attraction.

Sandcastle Waterpark Managing Director John Child said “We wanted our 30th birthday celebrations to be about people and community and hopefully we’ve achieved that. From running competitions on social media to holding evenings for local charities, coffee morning for local groups, tours of the Waterpark and of course, our new Guinness World Record (more about that below) which involved 529 riders. We’ve also welcomed teams from Diabetes UK and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service who set up stands in our reception area to raise awareness for their causes. I’m delighted we were able to celebrate with so many different groups and in the process we have raised £10,000 through our Splash Foundation which will be donated to a number of local charities. I’d like to thank everyone that has taken part in our celebrations and hope you’ve enjoyed them as much as we have”.

World's Largest Swimming Lesson

More than 50 pupils from Roseacre Primary Academy as they took part in the Worlds Largest Swimming Lesson.

The lesson, organised by the World Waterpark Association is intended to promote swimming as a life-saving skill for children and a vital tool to prevent drowning, the second leading cause of unintended, injury-related death for children ages 1-14. The World's Largest Swimming Lesson™ was created to serve as a platform to help local community aquatic facilities and drowning prevention organizations work together to tell this important story on a local, national and International level. More than 50’000 people across 24 nations took part this in this year’s event.

Managing Director John Child said “As we approach the summer months, many children will be enjoying time on their annual holidays in and around water, and we want them to enjoy themselves but above all, to be safe. The Worlds Largest Swimming Lesson allows us to teach them basic skills that they can employ when in the water and ultimately be as safe as possible.
